Sam is an assistant to the chief operating officer of DelaneyMinker, a branch of Itexicon based in Australia.
The COO notices an approaching dust storm outside, caused by children approaching on motorscooters and ATVs, and borrows binoculars from Sam. He reminds her that they don't get field trips, because they're a top-secret facility. Upon looking through the binoculars at the kids' signs, he tells the COO that they may want to go into lockdown.
